Teaching Experience
I’ve been teaching chess online since 2012, with over 10 years of coaching experience via Skype and modern platforms. My playing experience spans more than 25 years – I started playing competitive chess in 1996.

- How to think in real games, not memorize endless variations
- Tactical patterns that win games immediately
- Endgame techniques every club player must know
- Time management and decision-making under pressure
